Exactly :), it's a good approach you can see perhaps
in all new standards. THere is defined simple
core and clean mechanism for extensions (and for
identification of their presence/support). You can see
it in examples SGML vs. XML, DAP vs. LDAP, ... . After
all it follows principle of Occam's razor :), allowing
us to avoid overmatching. I only hope this approach
will be even more wide-spread.
